Lot Description

Premium Quality Mint State Fugio Cent 1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 11-B, W-6785. Rarity-4. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-62 BN (PCGS). An outstanding, premium quality Fugio cent. This variety is always popular with type and major variety collectors due to its availability in high grade, its typically being well made in terms of planchet quality and strike, and its neat clashmarks. In addition to all those qualities, this example offers wonderfully choice, frosty surfaces with attractive medium brown color and peeps of mint red, and no pre- or post-strike impairments of any kind, save for just a few light, natural streaks across the upper reverse which hardly require note. Perfectly centered and a full border of dentils frames the entirety of both sides. A delightful coin worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Star of Texas Collection. PCGS# 878117.
